Prostate Cancer has been called the ‘Silent Killer’ because there are no symptoms of early stage prostate cancer according to Jim Kiefert. “I am one of the fortunate ones,” he said. “My wife suggested my doctor test me for everything as I had not had a physical in many years. I’m still here today, 22 years later, because I was diagnosed early. Early detection and treatment is the only known cure for prostate cancer.”
